General Impressions of Girona

Girona is a city in the north east of Spain. River banks in the center are spectacular with colorful house facades. On the water, youngsters are holding a raft race. Everyone has decorated their raft and people are cheering on the competitors from pedestrian bridges above.

We were the most impressed with local markets. Here you find a lot of different cheeses and fine meats. One merchant was making his bread in a mobile oven on the spot. We tried some of the local delicatessens and tapas. It is always nice to discover a new place.

Girona is een stad in het noordoosten van Spanje. De oevers in de binnenstad zijn spectaculair met hun gekleurde gevels. Op het water houden jongeren een race met drijvend vlotten. Iedereen heeft zijn vaartuig gedecoreerd en toeschouwers juichen de deelnemers aan van op de hoger gelegen voetgangersbruggen. 

We waren het meeste onder de indruk van de lokale markten. Hier vind je vele kazen en fijne vleeswaren. Een handelaar bakte ter plaatse vers brood in een mobiele oven. We probeerden enkele delicatessen en tapas. Het is altijd leuk een nieuwe plaats te ontdekken.
